<b>About the Search tab
</b>

<p>These topics describe the features available if you include a Search tab in your help design.</p>

<p>A compiled help file can include a <b>Search</b> tab that allows a user to search through every word in a help file to find a match. For example, if a user does a full-text search on the word "index," every topic that contains the word "index" will be listed. 
</p>

<p>Depending on how complex your help system is, the <b>Search</b> tab can contain either basic or advanced full-text search functionality. Advanced full-text search allows a user to search using boolean, wildcard, and nested expressions.
</p>

<b>Note</b>
